The Government's celebrations of the proclamation
15 January 2024
Usually, Queen Margrethe arrives last. That changed on January 14th with the proclamation from one generation to another.
On January 15th, the Danish Government celebrated the proclamation with a gathering in morning at Christiansborg (here).
Princess Benedikte, Prince Joachim and Crown Prince Christian also attended the event. This was King Frederik and Queen Mary's first official event after the proclamation.
The royal family attended a following reception in the Langstings Hall.
For the proclamation I wished for something blue or purple. I truly hoped for something colorful. Instead, Mary had chosen a brand new white dress designed by Søren Le Schmidt and tailored by Birgit Hallstein. On her first job as "Queen of Denmark" Mary reused a navy blue cashmere set. A jacket and a skirt, which were designed by Danish designer Ole Yde and later tailored by Birgit Hallstein. She first wore the set in 2022 (here).
This time, she embraced the color of the set with same-color gloves, a custom-made Susanne Juul felt hat and leather pumps from Gianvito Rossi. At first, I was also misled by the designer of her clutch. It is in fact an old one from 1602 - NOT Carlend Copenhagen as other claimed.
As jewellery, Mary had chosen her beloved Connaught Sapphire brooch. It was given to her by Queen Margrethe, when she gave birth to Crown Prince Christian in 2005. It belonged to Queen Ingrid. The flower-shaped diamond earrings from purchased at an Bruun Rasmussen auction. Her necklaces are from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau.
What do we think of her first official outfit with her new title?
